Medical alcohol, also known as isopropyl alcohol or rubbing alcohol, is a versatile antiseptic solution commonly used for disinfection and sterilization in medical settings and at home. Typically containing 70% to 99% isopropanol, it is highly effective in killing bacteria, viruses, and fungi, making it an essential tool for cleaning wounds, sanitizing surfaces, and disinfecting medical instruments. Medical alcohol evaporates quickly, leaving no residue, and is safe for use on skin when applied properly. Its fast-acting properties make it an indispensable item in first aid kits, healthcare environments, and households for maintaining hygiene and preventing infections.
